James Bond's Skyfall screenwriter hopes for Oscar

In case you didn't already know, James Bond is back and how! The British agent will take his character to new depths in the upcoming ...

Daniel Craig will be seen reprising his role as the British agent 007.

A large part of Skyfall has been shot extensively in the UK capital London.

Spanish actor Javier Bardem is seen in an all-new blonde avatar as he plays villian Raoul Silva in the film.

French actress Bérénice Marlohe seems to add more glamour and brains to the conventional Bond girl.

Dame Judi Dench reprises her role of M in the film.

Bond's very popular Aston Martin DB5, too, has a role in the film.

Naomie Harris calls her role that of a 'female Bond' in the film.

Screenwriter John Logan hopes that his work on the latest Bond film Skyfall will help him get his fourth Oscar nomination this year and possibly an award. Logan has previously been nominated for his work in Gladiator, The Aviator and most recently Hugo, reported BBC news.

On whether he hoped to get recognition Logan said, "Yes. I think we made a proper movie, which was our goal."

Of the 23 previous Bond movies over the last 49 years, only two have collected Academy Awards, both in technical categories. Goldfinger won best sound effects in 1964 and a year later Thunderball got best visual effects.

There have been reports that Dame Judi Dench could be nominated for her role as M in the movie.
